Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let [them] slip.
On account of the previous passages in chapter one and the undeniable truth that we have studied concerning the greatness of Jesus Christ, being God, the Son; these great truths concerning Jesus Christ should demand an immediate response from us. We ought to give more earnest heed. In other words, it is necessary, right and proper in the nature of the case, previously presented concerning Christ, that we ought to be paying greater attention with our thinking, giving ourselves over to the things of what was said, concerning Jesus Christ, always being warned of the danger of letting these great truths slip our minds, or escape our thinking, or we let them pass us by.

6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
Acts 16:14-15
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended (gave heed) unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

1 Timothy 4:13-15
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; ...
